Add to that chocolates and freshly made millionaires shortbread, which scored extra points with my husband. There's a lovely patio area for sitting out in too. Nothing is too much trouble for Lisa, she has taken the time to gather together info about eating places and also gives recommendations of places to visit to get you started with exploring the area. Cullen itself is a lovely friendly village with a beautiful beach and walks. We have never immediately rebooked somewhere but we have this time and can't wait to come back next summer.

“Luxury, quaint holiday cottage which is great for a relaxing break.”

Furnished to a high standard with lots of lovely touches provided by the owner Lisa. She has thought of everything you could possibly need and more to get your holiday off to a great start. There's a lovely wood burning stove to keep you cosy on colder days but also a lovely patio area to sit in on those warmer days. The cottage is a great base to explore not only beautiful Cullen but also lots of coastal villages and towns in the surrounding area.

“The only negative is not having a table and chairs to eat meals at.”

The kitchen had a breakfast bar and stools.

Mrs MacleanAugust 2018

“Excellent all round; very comfortable and well equipped.”

Lisa is the perfect host - always helpful and full of information. Lots of good places to eat in town and round about. This is the place to stay if you holiday in Cullen!

“Absolutel fabulous.”

Can't praise this enough. The house is immaculate & has everything you could possibly need for a lovely stay. The owner, Lisa, was more than welcoming, she made us feel really at home & went out of her way to ensure we had a fantastic holiday. The surroundings are out of this world. Will definitely be back & can't recommend this highly enough. 5 star rating doesn't seem high enough.

“The house was very comfortable, very homey and welcoming.”

Lisa the host was there to greet us and help us find the property. She gave us a quick tour of the place and let us settle in - she was on hand if we needed her also.
We had a starter basket which was nice to have; tea, cereals and more, especially as we flew to Scotland.

“First class accomodation in beautiful location.”

This wonderful cottage had everything you could want on a holiday. It was immaculately decorated, comfortably furnished and cosy.
Kitchen had absolutely everything you could want or need, including a sumptuous welcome basket with staples like break, milk, tea but also delicious shortbread and delicious chocs.
Bedroom was beautiful, great beds and lovely bedding. Bathroom contained a lovely assortment of toiletries and glorious soft towels.
Fantastic walks, a nice assortment of cafes and shops with some good places to eat... and we saw the dolphins.

“Wonderful welcome from the owner when we arrived late on Saturday evening.”

Cottage beautifully clean and cosy with everything we needed and more. Location fantastic for the beach and visiting the pretty fishing ports along the coast. Nice to be able to walk to Cullen harbour in the morning and get a fresh live crab to eat from the local fisherman. Many thanks to them! Would recommend. Big thank you to the owner for making us feel so welcome. Good start to a relaxing break.

“This 5 star seaside cottage located in a very traditional Scottish fishing village has everything you need to have a quiet holiday watching dolphins or an eventful time away.”

Cullen has several beautiful safe beaches and is a centre for canoeing etc. The village has several coffee shops, several antique shops, a links golf course with restaurant and the Cullen Hotel with a very good restaurant. The cottage is very well furnished with a modern kitchen, the owner was very helpful and is available to help with any problems that arise. The cottage is fully central heated and has a log burner situated in the living room if required. We had a great holiday in Cullen and will be returning to this cottage as soon as we can.

Ms HamblettJuly 2017

“We were greeted with a warm friendly smile, lots of fabulous information about how and where to make the most of our time and a goodie pack that consisted of everything we needed to get the week started.”

The cottage was immaculate, warm and very comfortable after our mammoth nine and half hour drive. Lisa was a wonderful hostess proving that nothing was too much trouble. Hope all who stay here enjoys themselves as much as we did. Scotland is a wonderful place with lots to do. Cullen is peaceful and clean. During our week we ate at the Rockpool, the Cullen Bay Hotel, tasted Portknockies fish and chips and Cullen's homemade ice cream. We visited Loch Ness, went on the funicular train at the Cairngorms, sailed on the Gemini Explorer and saw at least four dolphins who travelled along side us. We were also fortunate to see seals on land as well as in the sea. An amazing experience that we are looking forward to repeating again.

Mrs McdonaldJuly 2017

“Our host really helped make the holiday.”

The cottage was just perfect and we an amazing week. Would highly recommend. The cottage is put together to a very high standard.

“Have re-booked already!”

Just home from this lovely cottage and have already booked to go back! Haven't ever done this before so it's proof of how much I loved this place. The cottage is immaculately clean and is so cosy and comfortable. It's in a perfect spot with the beach just seconds from the front door and all of Cullen's amenities a 5 minute walk away. The lovely back patio is a perfect spot to relax in if the sun shines. The welcome from the owners is first rate - they couldn't have been more generous or helpful. Lots to see and do in the area and lovely places to eat close to hand. Overall, a top holiday: can't wait to be back!

Ms HannahApril 2017

“A fantastic cottage in a beautiful location.”

Very handy for all the amenities in Cullen and a stone's throw from the beach. The cottage is immaculate and very cosy and the welcome from the owners second to none. Will be back.

“A fantastic week of relaxation at this lovely cottage”

As per the previous review we were delighted with our experience of staying at this lovely cottage in Cullen. The property itself is excellent; quiet location, exceptionally clean and well-equipped. The owner has obviously put a lot of thought into making guests comfortable, and gave us a warm welcome when we arrived. It's a very short walk to the sea front, with picturesque harbour and a beautiful beach (the walk to Portknockie via the viaduct is highly recommended). Also Cullen is well placed for exploring the beautiful coastline and mountains. In short we would go back in a heartbeat, and we don't give away an 'Excellent' rating easily!

“Fantastic cottage, beautiful location, we will return.”

On our arrival at Coastal Haven we where pleasantly surprised by this wonderful cottage. The location was perfect! A stone throw from the beach and a short stroll to local amenities. The cottage itself was immaculate, and wonderfully presented. There where toys for our young daughter to play with and every attention to detail was taken, from the chocolates on the side board to the luxurious bedding. This cottage really does have everything you would want and more for a relaxing holiday, and we are already planning our next trip.

The property

A detached stone fisherman's cottage in the heart of Seatown in Cullen, just yards from the coast.

Coastal Haven is a stylish and very desirable cottage, and visitors will immediately be impressed with the presentation and great attention detail throughout.

The cottage has two sumptuous bedrooms, a double and a twin with luxury linen and towels, and there is an adult size folding bed for flexibility if required.

The kitchen/dining room is very well equipped, and an excellent place to prepare and enjoy meals, whilst the impressive sitting room, with its two recliner leather settees and woodburning stove, ensures warm relaxed evenings can be enjoyed after an active day.

During the warmer weather the rear patio is a real sun trap, and an ideal place for a barbecue or pre-dinner drink.

Just a gentle stroll away is a long glorious sandy beach, where children can play safely and everyone can appreciate the beautiful views and tranquillity of the area.

The Moray Firth is of course famous for its dolphins, and they can be seen regularly either from land or by taking one of the many boat trips, where not only the dolphins but also other wildlife can be easily spotted.

Cullen itself has very good local facilities and boasts a smart cafe and a famous ice cream shop, while just a short distance away is the Cullen Hotel which offers good food and great views from its elevated location.

The area is rich in golf courses, and the indented coastline is perfect for exploring, as each little village is different and has its own unique history.

Venture inland and explore the cathedral city of Elgin, or perhaps pick up the Malt Whisky Trail and partake in some tasting.

Whatever you choose to do, this fabulous cottage will be a perfect holiday base.

About the location

CULLEN

Elgin 21 miles.

The Moray coastal town of Cullen is situated on Cullen Bay, an inlet of the Moray Firth, and is an extremely attractive town, originally built around the mouth of the Burn of Deskford. Modern Cullen comprises the delightful fishing village of Seatown and an ‘inland’ area, which stretches up an imposing main street from Seatown, underneath a spectacular viaduct. Although the wealth of Cullen was built on textiles in the 18th century, the town is best known for its fishing heritage, its name being given to a rich, creamy haddock soup known as Cullen Skink. Visitors can enjoy Cullen’s lovely sandy beach, the famous Ice Cream Shop, regarded by many as Scotland’s best ice cream parlour, a fine selection of shops and restaurants, and the historic city of Elgin is within driving distance.
